Neighbourhood: Thorncliffe Park

Thorncliffe Park is the name of the large, mostly residential neighbourhood bordered on the north by Eglinton Avenue, on the west by Laird Drive and cradled in a bend in the Don River to the south.

One of Toronto’s first planned high-rise communities, Thorncliffe Park is densely populated and highly multicultural. The twin Leaside towers here are the tallest buildings in the region and are home to many local residents.

Media, forensic examiners and curiosity seekers are back on Leaside’s Mallory Crescent, since July 4 when police resumed excavating the property where remains of seven individuals had previously been found.
